You Tube Gold: Muscle Shoals
Photo by Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images SHEFFIELD, AL - SEPTEMBER 23: Guitarist Duane Allman of the Southern rock group the ‘Allman Brothers’ holds his Gibson Les Paul electric guitar at Muscle Shoals Studios on September 23, 1969 in Sheffield, Alabama.We had some idea about the musical influence of Muscle Shoals and the FAME and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio but really didn’t fully understand it until we watched this documentary, which is really very good.
What are the odds of a studio in a town of about 10,000 people (in the 1960s) attracting bands like the Allman Brothers, Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett and Lynyrd Skynyrd?
